<p>The #Chicago Blackhawks placed forward Viktor Tikhonov on waivers. The 27-year-old is in his first season back in #North_America after spending four years over in the KHL. He has been struggling since coming back to the NHL and not able to find his groove. His last year in the KHL was not a very productive one either.</p>

Reuben Fine was a truly great chess grandmaster, and he was American, which is kind of like saying that the U.S. Soccer team had an artist like Lionel Messi or Mesut Ozil.  Doesn't happen in North America.  Anyway, the distinctive element in Fine's chess style was "precision."  His mistake rate was impossibly low; they say that playing against him was like trying to win Ping-Pong against a playback with the table folded up.  That was the feeling they described.
